bg0··on Show HN: RetroClip – Instant Replay for Your Mac
I'd love to purchase the Pro but I can't see the price anywhere. Nothing in the App Store or even when I click "upgrade to Pro" in the app itself no information on how much it's about to charge me.
bg0··on Show HN: HNNotify – Get emailed when a users reply to your HN Posts and Comments
For what it's worth I had the code in there when I clicked verify and received the error. Glad to help with some error handling though :)
bg0··on Show HN: HNNotify – Get emailed when a users reply to your HN Posts and Comments
The verify is getting a runtime error
bg0··on AWS Fargate – Run Containers Without Managing Infrastructure
Was hoping this was close to Google's Appengine. Patiently waiting.
bg0··on Firefox 57.0 Released
Agreed, totally open to give this a try but there is no way I'm porting all my passwords over
bg0··on Show HN: API to check where a TV show or movie is available
No but it tells you where to stream titles
bg0··on Show HN: API to check where a TV show or movie is available
Fun Fact, not as robust but the iOS TV app does this also
bg0··on Paperclip optimizer
A little confused on why, to start off, I can make a paperclip with 0 funds.
bg0··on Draggable JS – a lightweight, responsive, modern drag-and-drop library
Since we're talking about drag and drop. How does this work on scaled containers (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39987643/accurate-drop-f...)
bg0··on TunnelBear Publishes Security Audit
Are there any nice free VPN Clients out there? I haven't been very lucky in finding any in the OS X realm
bg0··on How to use Let's Encypt with Google Cloud Platform
Wait so does this work?
bg0··on How to use Let's Encypt with Google Cloud Platform
For a lot of smaller projects, running google app engine is 10x easier (and cheaper) then worry about a VM.
bg0··on How to use Let's Encypt with Google Cloud Platform
Renewing/replacing certificates, especially with App Engine, is the bane of my existence. I couldn't possibly imagine doing this every 3 months.

This being said, I appreciate the tutorial.

bg0··on We’re dropping Google Ads
Are you doing any alternative methods of ad revenue or just removing ads from the site entirely?
bg0··on Ask HN: WiFi issues with new MacBook when USB-C hub plugged in – anyone else?
It honestly happens when I even charge my new MacBook using USB-C. Wifi is not "really" affected if I use the right side ports but totally cuts out my wifi if I use the left side.
bg0··on Show HN: Docdown – Manage Your Web Content with Google Docs
Well this is cool. I've spent hours last week tweaking stupid little content changes for clients. Can't wait to try this out.
bg0··on Amazon Restaurants
So this link is just sending me to the amazon restaurants page which has been around for about a year where I live.

Can someone explain the point of this post?

bg0··on Ask HN: Is phonegap/cordova still relevant?
It's basically writing an angular app and sticking it on someones phone. Unless you're making a game, you can build some pretty powerful web apps and throw them into ionic to make an indistinguishable mobile app.
bg0··on Pixel smartphone camera review: At the top
If the Pixel came out with the dual camera like the iPhone Plus and was cheaper I would seriously consider switching
bg0··on Forestry.io
Would love to hear a reply to this since this is your biggest likely competitor.
bg0··on Forestry.io
cloudcannon.com is the biggest similar service but quite expensive
bg0··on Apple in Talks with US Banks to Develop Mobile Person-To-Person Payment Service
Good point; +1 for not bashing my opinion.

I will say that Venmo already is installed, is aware of my contacts, who I pay the most, and my payment details. But I use Apple Pay and I agree that it would be heavily adopted just because it's already there and it's one less "account" people have to worry about.

bg0··on Apple in Talks with US Banks to Develop Mobile Person-To-Person Payment Service
I love Apple and all but they'd have to somehow make it easier then Venmo, because it would be pretty hard to convince my non-tech friends AGAIN to move away from something that works so well
bg0··on How Google killed my startup
1.5 million is revenue and they decided to just end it?? :(
bg0··on OnHub
Seems a little pricey. My TP-Link router was $45 and is amazing. I'm probably missing something but $200 doesn't seem "worth it" at first glance when set up really only consists of looking at the bottom of the router to find the WPA Key.
bg0··on Project Fi by Google
Unfortunately I think I'll need to stick with buying my phones for half the cost and sticking with a 2 year contract with a company like Verizon.

I can't justify switching and needing to buy a $650 phone.

bg0··on $149 Chromebooks
It's a shame they didn't put USB 3.0 slots on these chromebooks. Pretty useless with 2.0 for any external hard drive activity.
bg0··on My Interviews with Airbnb, Dropbox, Posterous, Reddit, Weebly and Wufoo
These are great. I would of loved to see the end of the Reddit one before it got cut out.
bg0··on Show HN: Littlebox, a pure CSS icon library – worth continuing?
This is awesome! If there wasn't a compatibility issue, i'd use this immediately.
bg0··on The Apple Watch
I just wanted to swim with it... :(
